In the morning, not too far from the camp toward the southwest, Martin stood in front of a modified Mars rover, moving supplies on the ground, drenched in sweat.
The weather was still scorching, but the film crew was about to pull through.
Today's shoot would wrap up, and everyone would leave Death Valley and return to the studios at Disney Studio to continue filming.
Ridley Scott called a halt to the shooting.
Martin immediately took off his helmet, feeling as if smoke was coming off his body. He shed his spacesuit, climbed into the air-conditioned vehicle, and felt alive again.
In the seat next to him, Louise put down her binoculars and said, "There's a Wrangler on the main road over there. I've observed it carefully, and it should be Megan Ellison's ride. I'll drive over in a bit and pass by her."
Martin took a drink of water and waved his hand, "Go ahead, I don't want to talk right now."
